watching, our coverage continues with alison camera. >> hi alison, happy thanksgiving. >> you too, have a wonderful holiday, great to see you. >> good evening everyone, this is cnn tonight and i'm alison camera. sources tell cnn that former vice president mike pence might be open to telling federal prosecutors for donald trump's effort to stop the transfer of power on january 6th. tonight we have more on what you might tell them. , plus it has been a horrible ten days of mass shooting, from the murder of three students to happens at club q in colorado springs and then last night six people were shot and killed in a walmart in chesapeake virginia. with four people in the hospital tonight from that event. is there any way out of this awful cycle? seems to be one of our national past himes. other countries do not endure this, is the answer to ending

astronauts in this gun violence epidemic. they go way beyond thoughts and prayers. so we have a lot to talk about, let us begin with the justice department seeking testimony from former vice president mike pence. cnn senior -- components has been working this. >> alison, the justice department approached mike pence's team weeks ago wanting to talk in the criminal probe into january 6th. and the moments after the election obviously. they are looking into donald trump, the white house, everything going on there to try to disrupt, potentially congress. for certifying the presidency and allowing joe biden to become president. in the situation, our reporting is that mike pence is open to discussing a possible arrangement. with the justice department where he could provide testimony and so he would be a witness in this situation. we know that throughout these past couple of weeks allison,

the justice department has been carving out information around both trump and pence. they have been looking at the conversations that the two would have had. we know that they have brought in top deputies, greg jacob and mark short into the grand jury. brought them back a second time into the grand jury in recent weeks then because they had declined to answer some very deep questions into the heart of the oval office and are now sharing them. so now the question is, will pence also fill in whatever blanks are left? will he choose to speak? and also how aggressive will the new special prosecutor, special counsel jack smith be in wanting to move this forward and potentially have more negotiations with the pence team. >> so caitlin, you remember that vice president has not close the door to testify before the january 6th committee. he said this in our cnn town hall last week. >> congress has no right to my

testimony. the very notion of a committee on congress summoning a vice president to speak about deliberations that took place at the white house i think would violate the separations of power. so clearly he sees the department of justice in a different category. >> alison he said no to congress but mike pence is out there sharing things that he had never shared before. this year. he just released a book. in that book one of the things he writes about our direct conversations that he had with donald trump in that crucial period under january 2021. he basically says that he is telling trump that is not going to work. you can't use me to block your loss in the election. trump tells him things like if you wimp out, you are just another somebody. also wrote that trump says you will go down as a wimp. wind, over and over trump is saying these things directly to pence. they would not have been other witnesses of that. but pence is disclosing that in

his book. sort of thing that could get the justice department interested. and the justice department has a lot of power in a criminal probe like this. have used former presidents to testify invest to. geishas really they have no balance around them to use people like pence. as a witness. i have to go through a process to get executive privilege. wiped away in court. but really, they have been in the situation where he's in former president ronald reagan after leaving office testified about things going on. inside of his administration at the iran contra affair. so we are in an area that we just do not know what is going to happen here. but if pence wants to, talk he probably will be able to. alison? >> we will remove the passages as well. caitlin, thank you very much. we have cnn political commentator errol lewis with us tonight. and legal analyst joey jackson.

and scott jennings, great to have you here. so joe, legally this isn't a different category. and the twin category that the january six house committee. does mike pence have to answer doj prosecutors? >> he could stall. he could prevent it. i think there will come a time when he will answer questions. so let us talk about the distinction. when you have a house, committee congress has an oversight responsibility and are investigating for that purpose. but we are talking about the department involved in criminality not themselves. so when you are doing that, the only effective way to not testify is to assert privilege. or otherwise give the indication allison that you should not testify. i do not think that the privilege will carry the day. i don't think he is looking to assert privilege. i don't think it necessarily applies here. and i think that there will come a point in time when he does speak. i do think there are reasons to negotiate's testimony.

the justice department always wants a -- calmness, a cooperative witness. a witness they're not having any belief that they are, and he is not the subject, the target of any investigation. i think that it allows them to be more forthcoming. allows them to be more explanatory. by the way, a little wrinkle here. an election coming up on which him and the former president might be on opposite sides. might be very motivated to tell the stories. not to mention, the book you talked about. so help me god in which she has many excerpts in that book, with respect to those conversations between him, president, other parties who were there. >> scott, i would like to read a portion of that book. because i know that at times you think oh, we've heard everything that mike pence has to say about january 6th. not exactly, in his book there is new stuff. so here is what he writes about, saying on january 5th i got an urgent call that the president was asking to see me in the oval office. the president's lawyers, including mr. eastman we're now

requesting that i simply reject the electors. i later had learned that mr. eastman had conceded to my general counsel that rejecting electoral votes was a bad idea. and any attempt to do so would be quickly overturned by a unanimous supreme court. this guy did not even believe what he was telling the president. so it sounds like there is some new stuff scott. >>, yeah i think you should talk to the department of justice in this criminal investigation. i think he had a pretty good argument i'm not going to congress, i do think the separations of powers is something that ought to be taken seriously. but the main thrust of what we will get out of january the six strikes me as coming from this department of investigation of who broke what laws and so, i think that mike pence should do it. and it sounds like he -- >> scott froze for a second. our, you can pick up where he left off. is there a reason for mike pence not to do it? . you might not, but i think they handwriting is on the wall. can take millions of dollars,

what was millions of dollars for a book advance to start dishing this breathless -- about conversations in the oval office and then try to assert privilege that it is confidential and he does not want to talk about it. just as you said, former president dragon testified when he was asked. sitting president bill clinton, let's go back to 1998. the whole testimony. all four hours and 16 minutes is online. you can watch it if you want to this day. where he was subpoenaed. he appeared before the special counsel appointed by the department of justice. and said a lot of really embarrassing things about conversations and actions that went on between him and monica lewinsky and others in the white house. so, mike pence, i think joey is right, you want him to be in a good mood. this is the first part of a negotiation. but in the end he will have to testify. >> let's talk about what is happening with donald trump. i know that it can be hard to keep up with the various cases that donald trump is involved in. but let's just bring it down to this weekend what has happened this week. here is what this happened joey. the new york judge has

scheduled a trial date for the trump organization in that lawsuit brought by new york attorney general letitia james. supreme court did clear away for the house committee to get donald trump's taxes after trying to block them for years and in appeals court has been skeptical of donald trump's arguments for what he was doing for those classified documents at mar-a-lago. and then senator lindsey graham has testified before the fulton county grand jury it and about trying to overturn the election results in georgia. we aren't done with it yet. that is what has happened. does it feel like things are ramping up? >> listen, this is the legal process network. entitled to push back as the president does very litigious. arguing and litigating as it relates to whatever his taxes. people who should talk, going back to our last conversation. mark sure right? the chief of staff of the vice president in addition -- >> meaning the vice president

was angry marchers talking. >> this is the way the process works. i think ultimately, if you do things that are allegedly not so good. if you have documents, potentially you should not have had, there is an accountability factor. if you have organizations engaged and alleged impropriety, there is an accountability factor there. so i think that at some point in time alison, you've heard the expression chickens come home to roost, you reap what you so. i think the reckoning is here. when you run for president, that does not act as a bar to investigations and potential indictments and of course prosecution. not going to help, can stall, but is not going to prevent. >> scott, how do you see it? do you think things are ramping up? >> he's got a lot going on. carrying a lot of bags, a lot of heavy bags. if you are a republican voter trying to sort this out right now. whether we want to go through this a third time, this is going to weigh on the minds of a lot of people. >> i saw some polling tonight

before i got on the air, national polling indicating donald trump's favor ability with republicans. nonsense is on the rise, it appears to me that republican voters are finally catching up to all of this and deciding that maybe they have had enough. maybe these bags are too heavy to carry and to risky to roll the dice. this turn certainly doesn't help kicking off the presidential campaign. >> gentlemen, thank you so, much stick around, because it is not a matter of if there will be another mass shooting in this country, when. that is what we have learned. it's been quite ten days in this country. in the wake of the deadly rampage at walmart in chesapeake virginia, happening just last night, the question is, what are we going to do to stop this epidemic? staying asleep, you know, insomnia. but then, i found quviviq, an fda approved medication for adults with insomnia. and i'm glad i found it. you wouldn't believe some of the things people suggested to help me sleep. nature sounds? ahh, no thanks.

my friend's white noise idea. nope. and i'm not counting sheep. not on the...carpet. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. so i know how important a good night's sleep is. that's why i take quviviq nightly. quviviq could help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer; and more sleep at night may mean feeling less tired during the day. maybe i should tell them how it works, taye? quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. quviviq is thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia - overactive wake signals. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression including suicidal thoughts may occur. most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness.

it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you. why do nearly one million businesses choose stamps.com to mail and ship? stamps.com is convenient you get the services of the post office right on your computer stamps.com saves you money with great rates from usps and ups mail letters ship packages anytime anywhere for less a lot less get our special tv offer a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and get started today waiting. sometimes it's just inevitable. but if you're over 50 or live with a chronic condition, waiting could be deadly. because conditions like heart disease or diabetes raise your risk of serious illness or death from untreated covid. and if you don't get treatment within days,

i put up what they did in 2020 this was a democratic led legislature in the made progress at least what democrats consider progress the past universal background checks which we as we know are very popular with the public. there's a reporting requirement for lost or stolen guns limit of one handgun purchased per month for most people. that seems like it should be enough. and then they have red flag laws. so, explain how it is possible that someone who was clearly exhibiting some unhinged behavior was able to have these guns. >> while, a background check in america only captures a snapshot in time. it doesn't really go deep. we see other countries are able to avoid this gun violence because they do a lot of vetting before the point of purchase. right now, guns extremely easy to access because our gun laws are built with holes in them. our federal system does not cover private transactions which means you can sell a gun

to a friend at a yard sale. most states are like this. so, virginia can have very strong gun laws. but if there are week gun laws in neighboring states, it undermines all of that progress. >> catherine, that is exactly the point i've asked about so many times when we are reporting on these awful mass shootings. why can't there be more questions asked at the point of purchase? some sort of screening done to weed out people? this guy, last night the shooter was described by all of his coworkers as gruff, mean, condescending, made threats. he was paranoid about the government. he talked about it all the time. he threatened what he would do, there would be retaliation if he was ever fired. is there no kind of screening or questions that could be asked by gun sellers? it's not a law that you have to sell a gun to anyone who asks. why can't we do a better job of this? >> well, i think you made a good point. they can refuse any sale, and i

know that gun sellers do refuse sales. i've talked to several who said he just didn't seem right, i don't think he knew what he was talking about. i know that they can, but the limitations are just that. you're talking about people who their business is to sell guns. and there is not any state or federal regulation like to have a lot of other countries where you have to have witnesses, neighbors, they talk to the neighbors. you have to have people vouch for you, who write letters. some of the other countries are set up that way. we just don't have any standards like that in the united states. it's a little late. 400 million guns in, to start thinking about those kind of standards for gun sales. >> i hear you, but we have to do something. obviously we're in the cycle, we have to do something, because nothing is not working. hold that thought for one second katherine because i want to ask scott about this. governor youngkin of virginia said basically what we hear a lot. now is not the time to talk, he didn't say now is not the time

to talk about solutions but he said will be a time for the. when you think about that? >> this is a horrendous event. it is a horrendous, senseless act of violence and today we have to come around families and support them. there will be time for us to react and better understand we will have once the circumstances are well understood and opportunity to take actions. today we must stay focused on families. >> scott, unfortunately he is wrong. we will not have any time to better understand or take actions, because at our current rate, there will be another mass shooting tomorrow. >> i think he's making a pretty valid point. which is we don't know all the circumstances that went into this particular guy. and i think before you start prescribing solutions to solve

a particular manner, you know, however this guy can get his gun, however he came to the decision to shoot up a walmart and his coworkers, we want to know all the facts before you start, you know, saying we have to do this, we have to do that. look what happened in colorado. what we thought we knew about the shooter, what was allege about him really chained over 48 hours. >> like what? what part change in colorado? >> you want to find an answer to a question, you should get all the facts before you start prescribing. so, i think what he said -- >> hold on, hold on one second. first of all, we've covered -- or, i don't know, i don't know how many i've covered of these. so, they do sometimes fit a pattern. and there does seem to be a deranged sort of unhinged stable personality type that often does mask shootings. but what change in colorado? >> what was being said about the shooter's motivations in colorado changed over a couple of-day period after his lawyer

said some things about the way he self identifies. >> so, you believe -- you believe that that mass shooter. you believe his lawyer and him. >> i mean, alison, i don't know. it's his lawyer, it's what he's arguing that we didn't know anything. everyone was making arguments. and then his lawyer goes to court and says something that totally changes the narrative. all i am saying in the case of this walmart shooting is we don't know anything about this guy. we know people said he was weird. and we know that he went and shot up his coworkers. that's all i know. so, if i'm governor youngkin, i am not going to go out and start proposing solutions to things when i really don't have the facts. >> i hear you, scott. >> would be prudent to let it breathe? >> i don't know scott. it wasn't that he was just weird. he was paranoid and making threats. he was acting in this way that we often see unhinged paranoid people behaving. and they all knew it. they had seen it for. years it was not new. so, anyway, but, errol -- >> let me add some facts to

this. this was a workplace killing. on average, more than one person dies in a workplace killing every single day. and that includes, you know -- the number is over 394 the last year, for which there is federal data. you, know this year alone, by the way, and the only reason -- look, the only reason we're covering this walmart case is because it came so close to the other mass killing. but there have been workplace killings this year in wisconsin, in ohio, in michigan, in maryland, in tennessee, on an on and on. it happens all the time. and other than in local markets, it doesn't even get reported. that's how entrenched it is in our culture. so, you want to talk about who has responsibility? yeah, there's the gun sellers. yeah, there's the governor. there's also walmart. there's the workplace. the employees who want to work have the right to expect a safe workplace. not somebody who is a supervisor who is muttering to himself, exhibiting deranged behavior, and then took their lives. and then the occupational

safety and health administration, part of the labor department, where is marty walsh? where is the white house? what are they going to do about this? i've been writing about this for years. this is been going on for years. it is an absolute amodei -- epidemic. there are measures that can be taken. but not if we don't collect the data, talk about the data. the secretary of labor it needs to step forward today, right now, perhaps before the end of the week. and say what he's prepared to do. there is some talk about violence being directed at hospital workers. that is a particular workplace where there was a lot of workplace violence during and after the pandemic. but there are a lot of other places as well. and we as a country have to really sort of isolate this piece of the crisis and make sure that employers are living up to the responsibility and the federal government that oversees those employers are living up to its responsibility as well. >> i knew you guys would be the perfect panel to talk about this. because we are going to come back and talk about what each view thinks is the one suggestion for a solution to

break out of this. because this year could mark the second highest year of mass shootings on record in the u.s.. so, again, we are going to talk about solutions at the national level. we will be right back. vicks vapostick. strong soothing... vapors. help comfort your loved ones. for chest, neck, and back. it goes on clear. no mess. just soothing comfort. try vicks vapostick.

. nikole, i'm so glad you can join us tonight. i so appreciate talking to, even in these horrible circumstances. i know you are listening to our conversation about what happened at walmart last night. what aren't we getting? what are we missing? >> honestly, i was listening. and it was a very infuriating conversation to listen to because i'm seeing a lot of deflection rather than dealing with the problem at hand. we have an epidemic, and it's not just about workplace violence, it's about church, violence nightclub, violence is everywhere. we had over 600 mass shootings alone this year. that's over 200 shootings a day. there is not time for people to get over it. there is not time to wait to just worry about the families first, and we'll think about solutions later. because tomorrow, it's somebody else's family. and for not taking action today, then we are not doing anything to prevent the violence tomorrow. we are just waiting for it to happen to us next. and that's not a place any of us want to be. so i'm kind of a little bit

angry tonight, which i'm not normally. and this is just -- i'm just very dissatisfied with the lack of accountability and desire to take strong actions to deal with the problem in a way that we can protect constitutional rights and save lives. these solutions are in front of us. we just have to stop fighting and work on getting them passed. >> nicole, you are entitled to your frustration and anger. i think that all of us feel. but you just articulated it better. i think your tweet this morning that you send out at 7 am, i think spoke for all of us. you said again, waking up to news of another mass shooting this week. but still, there are people that will not acknowledge the problem or accept the solutions. instead, you thoughts and prayers, how about some [bleep] action instead. so what is the solution? what is the action, nicole, that you would like people to take? >> you know, i hate to say this pan. but there's no silver bullet. there's no one solution that is going to solve this. there are legislative solutions,

such as strengthening the implementation of extremist protection orders. there is federal funding available right now for states to apply for or either implement or strength of the implementations. awareness and education are critical for these loss to work well. and that could have helped in virginia. and it could've helped in colorado. other laws like background checks, limits on high capacity magazines, and semi automatic weapons, these are important. they are not restricting someone. but they are keeping people safe. and then there is a lot of community work that we can do. strengthening the bonds within communities. learning the science. recognizing the signs of someone who is in crisis or could be at risk of hurting themselves or someone else. and taking action to get that person help. not thinking that it's someone else's problem, someone else will take care of it. but actually -- and leading. it something that kids can do, it's something adults can, do it something that we can all do. he can help create safer futures. >> that such a great point, nicole. because so often at these things, there is a pattern. you hear me arguing a little bit with scott. scott will be back in a moment with us. but there is a pattern.

after we've covered this at least 50 times, you see that there are actually our signs. and we have to be able to be proactive instead of reactive. i know that you are involved in the bipartisan federal gun safety law that was passed. >> yes. >> and here just to remind people is some of the things that it. does it -- buyers under. 21 in incentifies red flag laws. $750 million to help states implement and run prevention programs. increases the funding for mental health programs and school security. that's something that governor youngkin talked about just today. a closes the boyfriend loophole. eric choir's more gun sellers to ministers federally licensed firearm dealers. i know did not go as far as you wanted to. but can it cut down on mass shootings? >> it can. if these are -- if the federal money is used, if the laws are strengthen, if schools are using these violence prevention programs,

there's so much funding available. there is no excuse not to do it other than our own well, or political will, that might get in the way of us taking action. so, it's there in front of us for taking and creating something good from. you just have to lean in and do it. it is going to take time, yes. and that is incredibly frustrating with the amount of violence we have right now. but if we don't take those steps now, all we are doing is allowing the violence to continue until recently decide that we are finally ready, because it has happened to us. >> nicole, you are wonderful. i always appreciate your voice and talking to you. thank you so much for taking the time for us tonight. >> thank you. >> i want to bring back errol louis, jennifer massiah, catherine schweit, and scott jennings. errol, you are listening there, what's the solution, was the one thing that we should do, that we can do, to stop this? >> i will go back to what i mentioned before. you have to get the private sector involved. they are not just the sight of killings, and it's all up to the rest of us to figure who should be hired and allowed to

supervise at walmart. it is the responsibility of walmart. they have got to do better. if they don't have the tools to screen employees, they should figure out how to get the tools to screen employees. they confederate how to get inside our heads and tell us how to buy stuff. well, you know, there are data scientist out there who can help them try to figure out how to do this. they could maybe create some kind of model legislation for us. i think overall, by the way, in addition to bring in the private sector, we are going to have a general election in a couple of years. and upwards of 150 million people are going to cast the vote. the political will is expressed at the ballot box. now is the time, not later, to try and do whatever is necessary, whatever is possible, to reduce some of the best possible actions to a couple of propositions. and then make sure that it is on the ballot at every office from county commission all the way up to the president of the united states. and then we can really sort of

put it to a vote and see if we can actually for some action on this. >> scott, your solution? >> i will give you two. i think we ought to put violent criminals in jail and keeping their. i think we ought to strengthen nuclear families in this country. i think one of the strands that goes through a lot of these shooters is absolute lack of a solid upbringing. they have broken homes. they have been taught terrible lessons in their lives. and they end up in violent outcomes. and so, those are my two. >> okay, catherine, you have written a book saying there is an end, there is a way to end mass shootings. what is your solution? >> stop dumping all gun violence into one bucket and thinking there is one solution. the workplace violence is one situation, mass killings that occur where somebody runs out at the last minute and buys a gun is another problem. strengthen the funding and make sure that we get a strong etf so they look for a straw buyers. develop those systems we don't

have to chase after the minute number of people who are committing the kind of terror that we're seeing, so that people who have guns and are confident that they can be responsible gun owners don't feel like someone is running after them to take their guns away. and my second thing would be make sure that you get mad at -- everyone should be mad about this, as mad as nicole is, as mad as i am. you should be so mad that you should be going through your kids drawers and your husband's trunk and his car. there is no democracy in a household. the people who do the leaking who make their statements. and they do lead 95% of the time say actual words to people saying they're going to do things just like we are just talking about. but people do not respond and think they are serious about it. get mad, be serious about it. >> great suggestion. go ahead, jennifer. >> well, you know, 80% of homicides are perpetrated with

guns. at the end of the day, guns are the common denominator. there be no gun violence without guns. we see, because we see that other countries don't have this type of violence. and the way that you cut down this violence is, the data shows, is by properly vetting gun owners. requiring training. it's a level of scrutiny that americans are not used to. and it is kind of shocking. but we see that other countries have successfully done it. because they do not have this every week. in between colorado springs and chesapeake, there were 418 people shot in america. 160 of them were fatally. that's every day gun violence. >> that's a horrible number. and you're talking about basically in the last ten days, basically, two weeks. >> actually, no, that was the last three days. >> oh, in just the last three days. between colorado springs and chesapeake, there were 418 people shot in america, not mass shootings. that's interpersonal violence. when guns are around and conflict happens, people reach for them. and vetting gun owners before the point of purchase, data

shows, does cut down guns. only seven states have gun owner licensing programs. that is something that we are going to see big state divides. you are going to have california and new york would super strong gun was and lower granddad's. but then you have 25 other states that will not require permits to carry a gun in public or training. >> and then, of course, borders are porous. so, even if you have a state with strong gun laws or requires this kind of background check for licensing, if you're next to a state that does not, it is different. friends, thank you all very much. i really appreciate this conversation. thank you all for thinking of solutions. it's the only thing left to do after we report on something like this so frequently. i really appreciate your perspective. okay, on a lighter note, the u.s. men's national team set to take the world cup stage against england on friday. and it could be a match just as dramatic as the one against wales. the family of one of the team stars, helen acosta, is going to join me with what they are thinking, next.
